The USAloe Story - Your local supplier of Aloe vera health products
By: Steven Stewart
For more than 2000 years the human race has taken advantage of a unique Lily-plant named Aloe vera to improve its health. Freshly prepared Aloe vera extracts have been used topically to improve wound healing and skin ailments, but it is a lesser known fact that drinking nutritional supplements containing Aloe vera juice will also improve the quality of your health.
Aloe vera is a rich source of at least 75 nutritional components beneficial to human health, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins. Nutritional supplements containing freshly prepared juice extracts of Aloe vera deliver a potent anti-oxidant boost to the human body, aid in balanced gastro-intestinal function, and help improve the absorption of core vitamins and minerals. The wellness community and a number of manufacturers know these facts, but only USAloe, your local supplier of Aloe vera health products, is able to provide the freshest, highest quality Aloe vera in the US market. USAloe’s organic Aloe vera fields are only hours away from downtown San Diego and Los Angeles. USAloe’s $30 million dollar facility in Carlsbad extracts the organic Aloe vera juice, manufactures and bottles the propriety nutritional supplements, and sends them directly to its customers. There is no middleman in the process – which translates into an affordable purchase price for those interested in improving their health. To ensure optimum processing conditions for the organic Aloe vera, USAloe’s processing plant is also vegan and kosher certified, and is FDA approved.
Absolute control of the Aloe vera processing method is important given the risk of chemical oxidation that can occur once the gel from the Aloe vera leaves is extracted. The Aloe vera gel must be processed under cool temperatures and quickly sealed in bottles for distribution. With this degree of control, USAloe can be sure that each bottle of Aloe vera product has optimum potency. To further ensure the maintenance of this potency, USAloe bottles their products in HDPE (medical grade) plastic bottles, so there is no risk of chemical leaching from the plastic and no risk of UV light infiltration (which would encourage oxidation) after their products leave their facility.
The guiding force behind USAloe is a man named Mr. Pete Mountanos. Previously, Pete led the development and sale of VXtreme to Bill Gates in the 1990’s. VXtreme is an integral part of the ubiquitous Microsoft Windows Media Player ( http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/1997/Aug97/VXPR.mspx ). Pete decided to step out of the formal business world after selling VXtreme and spent the next 10 years studying personal health -- motivated, in part, by his own declining health. In this quest, Pete methodically located and tested the best health ingredients around the globe. This search led him to Aloe vera – which was grown right here in California, but also to other health ingredients found only in certain areas of the world in their purest form. Quite excited by his results, Pete started to search for a company to buy that already had some establishment in the health industry. This is when he found Real Aloe ( http://www.next2eden.com/articles_view.php?id=275&cat=12 ). During this same 10 year time period, Pete also got involved with the University of California at Santa Barbara. In his effort to “give back” to the community, Pete volunteered to serve on the UCSB school board overseeing business and entrepreneurial studies at the university. While serving on this board, Pete became quite impressed with a particularly bright student, named Zach Linford, and kept in touch with him. After graduation Zack put his studies to work and started a company to develop business leads and make marketing materials for network marketing companies. Zach sold his company only a few years later for a large sum and decided to retire at the ripe old age of 29! Pete, though, had other plans, and called Zack up. Pete talked to Zach about his discoveries in the health and wellness field and convinced him to join him in a new venture called USAloe which he wanted to build as a network marketing company using Zach’s proven expertise with network marketing companies. As the two of them put their heads together, they started to explore other drink formulations they could make in addition to the Real Aloe product, using the Real Aloe juice as a base. Pete was particularly interested in products to help with energy, sleep, weight loss, and core nutrition using all natural ingredients. As they worked on various formulations using certain key ingredients, they soon had a robust product line of liquid nutritional supplements (not “drinks”) to stand behind the brand name USAloe.
Pete and Zach hired some of the employees from Real Aloe and Zach brought a few more from the lead generating company he had recently sold. In March 2009, after months of testing, USAloe introduced its first nutritional supplement, an energy supplement healthier than coffee. They decided to call this nutritional supplement AloeBoost (see http://earnwithaloe.usaloe.com/products-aloeboost.aspx for specific product information). AloeBoost was a big success and continues to sell very well. Having successfully developed a personal energy supplement it made sense for the USAloe team to address the problem of inadequate sleep in America. In April 2009, USAloe introduced a new nutritional supplement named AloeRest (see http://earnwithaloe.usaloe.com/products-aloerest.aspx for specific product information). This supplement, too, was a great success and would soon prove to be USAloe’s best selling product.
Next, Pete and his team turned their attention to making a health supplement to help with weight loss and they came up with the AloeControl nutritional supplement (see http://earnwithaloe.usaloe.com/products-aloecontrol.aspx for specific product information). AloeControl was introduced in May of 2009, and it too met with great success with many weight loss testimonials including one from Zach.
Finally, Pete turned his energies toward finding a nutritional supplement that would help maintain core nutrition. This had always been Pete’s biggest interest, not only for his own health, but also because of the striking benefits of certain ingredients he had discovered during his decade long travels. Ingredients such as the sea kelp extract called Ecklonia cava which was the subject of $30 million dollars worth of research, some by the University of Washington and some by other research institutions in Korea (see http://www.springboard4health.com/notebook/nutrients_ecklonia.html for more information). In July 2009, Pete introduced his pride and joy – AloeAdvanced – to the health conscious community (see http://earnwithaloe.usaloe.com/products-aloeadvanced.aspx for specific product information)
The work of getting the word out to the general public was initiated in July 2009 via word of mouth. Public tours of the USAloe facility, located in Carlsbad, and free samples of USAloe’s products can be arranged by contacting Steve Stewart at 760-476-9300. Plans for 2010 include a formal product launch in June and a national advertising campaign. In spite of the difficult economic climate in the United States, Pete Mountanos anticipates USAloe with show significant growth in 2010.
